Top 20 Albums Of 2020

Very hard to sort this one. A different year with albums from all sorts of genres. Not the best year but also far from the worst. Mörk Gryning was the pleasant surprise of the year with their best album since "Tusen år har gått..."

Turmion Kätilöt released the catchiest song of all time, "Revi Minut Auki".

1.Anaal Nathrakh - Endarkenment
2.Mörk Gryning - Hinsides Vrede
3.Dark Tranquillity - Moment
4.Haken - Virus
5.Lustre - The Ashes Of Light

Apocalyptic Top 30 Of 2020

It's that magical time of the year again, when it's almost impossible to choose your top albums for the previous year, but here we are. Some of these bands delivered a much needed soundtrack for one of the toughest years so far, and I must say I'm satisfied. The list in itself is in order about halfway in, the rest I couldn't decide about, so the second half is not ranged in any particular order.  I won't go too much into details, but here are some main impressions.

1.Dark Tranquillity - Moment
2.Draconian - Under A Godless Veil
3.Secrets Of The Moon - Black House
4.Pain Of Salvation - Panther
5.Katatonia - City Burials

Embers Of The Dying Night: Top Metal Albums Of 2020

It is interesting to see how the passing of time affects taste, preferences, and lists of this type. I'm writing these lists as a means to share the music I like, and by now it has become a tradition, albeit one which very few people read on a regular basis, if at all, but one which I have no intention of giving up. I published my first yearly list back in 2007. At first, I would publish them on last.FM and myspace (yes, I am that old), then I moved to Facebook, migrated to Tumblr, think I even tried Instagram, but I was never satisfied with any of those as a platform to share my annual and other lists and scribblings with others. Some years ago I started sharing my lists on the metal storm, thanks to their quite useful tool called lists, which is made for exactly that reason. When I added my lists to the metal storm, I reworked them and expanded a bit, adding some sort of a template, from my old lists that I still had saved up at various places. Besides a top ten and honorable mentions, there are few other sub-categories, which are basically just my way of telling people that I really loved that album, and that they should really fuckin'listen to it. The fact that I think that anyone besides myself is actually that much interested in my annual top lists or best (mostly) metal albums speaks more about me, I guess.

1.Havukruunu - Uinuos Syömein Sota
2.Myrkur - Folkesange
3.Ensiferum - Thalassic
4.Thy Catafalque - Naiv
5.Sojourner - Premonitions

2020 Favourite Albums

Every metal album I've heard so far from 2020 rated 5/10 or more. My tastes are predominately thrash, heavy and power metal (I was a teenager in the 80s!). I loved a lot of black and death metal in the 90s but I find it hard to get excited by much extreme stuff in my old age. The odd thing still tickles my fancy though.

1.Enslaved - Utgard
2.Bütcher - 666 Goats Carry My Chariot
3.Finntroll - Vredesvävd
4.Myrkur - Folkesange
5.Sepultura - Quadra
